Growing up I wanted nothing to do with God.  

I remember watching my mother die slowly when I was 11. I knew that only God could save her from HIV and so I prayed. And prayed. Yet, despite my prayers, my mother died, and immediately after I turned away from God. 

It took only 12 more months for murder and sicknesses to destroy all the family members that I had left. I was now an orphan.

I looked around at society with an intense desire to understand relationships.  

Why were people soulmates on their wedding day, only to be divorced a short time after? 

How do some couples stay together for 40 or 50 years while the average marriage lasts 7 years? 

How do we make relationships stronger at every level of society, starting with the most sacred and selfless act of marriage?

I was in a unique position to ask and answer these powerful questions.  So, I did.  I became obsessed with relationships and used my experience and expertise to dive deep into the most important aspect of any relationship:  Communication, from the Latin word meaning “to share”.

Shortly after I met my wife, her father led me to Christ. After coming back to God, it started to make sense.  God already had a perfect design for relationships, and we were ignoring it.

Through my new relationship with God, I started to understand how the depths of Scripture provided answers to questions I have been asking about marriage and relationships for a long time. 

Today, I’m on a mission to help spouses achieve unity in their marriage so that they can build community inside and out.  And I’m not stopping until we start raising ourselves and our children with the unbreakable bond between two loving people.

Because it takes unity to raise a community.
